Endless Mountains Nature Center - Trails at Camp Lackawanna
"Please take only photos, and leave only footprints"
The Endless Mountains Nature Center maintains over eleven miles of trails, which are open to the public for walking and hiking at the times and seasons listed below. Most of the trails are shaded, and the difficulty varies from easy to moderate.
The trails meander along the most peaceful stretch of the Susquehanna River and the historical remnants of the North Branch Canal, through mixed broadleaf and hemlock forests, and up to an overlook with a view of the river and valley below. Visitors can appreciated birds singing, water trickling over the the steep cliffs or rocks in the river, leaves rustling, and the overall lack of modern noise.
